I don't think Gigantomachia needs to worry much about brain damage.

Momo successfully knocks Gigantomachia out only for Toga to drink some of Mt. Lady's blood and turn into her and use her quirk to carry them all(including a napping Gigantomachia) to where Shigaraki is.

Hell, I'd believe it.

Roland Jones posted:

The manga then cuts to the real hero we need: Shinsou, using his weird voice-changing mask thing to sound like Shigaraki and get a reaction from Machia so his brainwashing works.

This sounds like a plausible way for Gigantomachia to be beaten, if not now then later.

Shinsou could even do that to Shigaraki.

Well, until All For One’s consciousness inevitably subsumed his and took control.

the one to save the day should be whatever hero in this menagerie is able to stick someone in place and stop them from moving. i can't think of anyone though

Unfortunately that wouldn't work since you'd need some material/surface stronger than Gigantamachia to stick him too. Even if you stick him to himself he'd just tear his own skin off to get free.

Okay I was pretty down on the class fights and Momo but the hand-wringing about the knockout gas plan is pretty ridiculous.

The whole idea of a group of super powered law enforcement/vigilantes going around brutalizing criminals is already hosed up on its face but we bought into it in order to enjoy this superhero comic, let's not just suddenly decide to stop the suspension of disbelief here.

Do you know how much anasthetic gas, and in what density, you need to knock out Gigantomachia in a seven count without causing brain damage? Remember that his body weight keeps changing.

(This is an awful plan from any angle, good luck Creati!)

Honestly, figuring out the exact dosage on the fly is one of the few things that it's been well established Momo wouldn't have trouble with. One of her main character traits is being a super genius who can remember the atomic composition of artillery cannons and figure out how to make electronic equipment from nothing. Just figuring out the dosage for knockout gas is relatively reasonable in comparison.

I'm of the belief that, especially since Midnight called them out as illegal and because it sounds like a good idea, Momo won't use tranquilizers to bring him down. It's gotta be a red herring so we'll be impressed by her ingenuity and leadership right?

She's not just gonna spend all of her creation budget on an oversized and inefficient cannon again... Right?

I remember joking in the first season of the anime that Bones was going to do an anime-original ending where it's revealed that quirks came from aliens and the final shot is their fleet coming into orbit around earth, after All Might is revealed to be one.

Obviously it's going to be Mina. She tried to tell us from the beginning! Her hero name was going to be Alien Queen!

I forget, have we ever seen what Mina’s family looks like? I’m not sure if she’s actually an alien/monster or if she just looks like that because of her Quirk.

Either way it wouldn't be that out of place in this series since we've seen people with bird heads, snake heads, a talking mouse, Asui's dad is a humanoid frog, a literal wolfman in the most recent movie and probably more I'm forgetting.

He does have teeth under that beak, as we've seen more than once. I don't see how this is that surprising.

The real question is if his beak is real, and what it's made out of if it is. There's a distinct possibility that one day we're going to see Tokoyami's family and they're all going to be covered in hair like that one 1-B kid, and Tokoyami just looks the way he does thanks to a prosthetic beak and hair gel.
